Removal and pick up is one step.
This is a very informative video - But, he mentions that SMD's are the main capacitors in new electronics.
This is incorrect - SMD's are the most plain and common Tantalum Capacitors - But, Tantalum Hermetics, Wets & Silvers are on High Grade Boards - Mainly Military for every one Tantalum Hermetic Capacitor you find it is the same as finding
15 Tantalum SMD Capacitors.
